By John & Nancy Lankenau 

Overview

On the morning of September 2, 1798, just after first light, the back door to Carpenters’ Hall is discovered ajar. Gold, silver, banknotes-the vast riches of a well-guarded bank vault-all of it gone without a trace. Frantic bankers secure an arrest warrant for the clever blacksmith who worked on the vault doors, a young Scot who crossed the ocean like thousands of others on America’s promise of liberty and opportunity. Bankers know him to be innocent but lock him up anyway, then leave him to die in their fever-ridden jail. An incredible true tale of history about the first big bank robbery in America. It’s a David and Goliath story about a recent immigrant who must uncover the truth about a robbery he didn’t commit.

“Is Mr. Lyon got clear, or is he condemned?”

NOT EVEN CLOSE ON SIZE!!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Blue
I'm not a small guy...im rather robust like a good Italian dressing..and this shirt is 100% disproportionately wrong! If your thinking 3xl sounds good for the price DONT BUY IT!! At best this is an XL t-shirt with a 3XL tag. I can't return it because I immediately cut tags off my shirts..I know weird right lol. Anyway hopefully you read this and like ex-relationships you 'MOVE-ON'!!!!!
